‘BIG IMPORTERS INVOLVED.

After llIrs. Yancy Ran Oéf with 839,000

>1Vorth of Gems Sim Got in Inside a lee

’ Fowl, Her Employers Squealcd and
Now Tremble for quoaselves.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-——Inspector Byrnes’
men are looki'u g for a Mrs. Yancy, who is
a most expert smuggler and swindler.

She is accused by a large diamond import ,.

iug firm in Chicago, whose name is not
mentioned for obvious reasons, but which
ismentioncd on Maiden lane with littla
doubt as to its correctness, of making her'
self source with a quantity of diamonds
belonging ‘to them. In this particulai
firm there is consternation on account Ci
1 heir little financial venture to defraud
Uncle Sum of his just dues. \Vith then:
is implicated a big Maiden lane firm that
was interested as agent.

TO carry 0 .t their scheme for importing
diamonds a’; as little expense as possible
they engaged Mrs. Yancy, a New York
woman, who changes her name with the
seabons, and who is regarded by customs
Officers as a “slick one,” having eluded
their vigilance at every eastern port. She
is a professional “free trader,” long known
to the authorities as such, and they always
lay plots for her, but on Friday last she
made her master stroke.

The Slick Smuggicr.

Mrs. Yancy in personal appearance is
youthful. Despite the silver in her hail
she has a figure that would grace a girl of
eighteen. She dressed in widow’s weeds
and was so successful in her little smug‘
gling scherzics that the officers began to
doubt whether the pretty waist was not
z'ne receptacle of some of the contraband
goods. She has been examined by female
sarchcrs, and every thread of clothes she
had on carefully scrutinized, yet she man.
3.ch to get goods into New York safely.

Mrs. Yancy, or whatever her name may
be, is not an American. She came to New
York early in the spring of 1890. At that
time she was accompanied by a diminu-
live Mongolian attendant, connected to
whom by a short gold chain was a. demure
pelican. As neither pelicans nor Mongo'
lians are down on the tariff list, they were
allowed to pass. Since that time the in-
teresting woman and bird, Zip, have been
frequent passengers between Europe and
New York on various steamers, and it is
alleged that between them about a. million
dollars’ worth of diamonds have been im-
ported without duty.

A Previous Attack of llIumps.

It is strange that while the woman was
always suspected, the pelican has never
been. This is attributed to the fact that
the bird wore as demure a look as the boy
in whose custody it was. Last Friday,
just before the French steamer landed, the
bird was taken by the boy into the mis-
tress’ stateroom. NVhen he was lauded he
was led from the steamer looking as if he
had been attacked bya virulent form of
mumps. But it was overlooked by the
customs Officers.

The three were noticed to bundle into
carriages at the dock, and it is supposed
that while on the way up town the bird
was relieved of its precious mumps. The
mumps consisted of $80,000 worth of
bright, sparkling diamonds. These dia-
monds should have been delivered to a
firm in Maiden lane, to be shipped to the
other free trade firm of diamond mer-
chants in Chicago.

Instead, however, Mrs. Yancy, with a
dozen other attractive widow names, went
somewhere on her own account. All trace
of her has been lost, and within twelve
hours of her arrival the police of half a
hundred cities were notified to look out
for her.

Too Bright to Be Caught.

The two diamond importing firms are in
a sorry predicament. They are abusing
themselves for having been so adroitly
swindlcd, and are trembling for the conse-
quences of the expose. In order to save
$30,000 they have laid themselves liable to
prosecution and the imposition of fines
which may cost them far more than the
loss of the parcel of sparklers.

According to the terms of the contract
between the two firms, it is said the Chi-
cago house advanced $10,000 on the dia-
monds, agreeing to pay the other $20,000 on
their delivery. But the Maiden lane house
can’t deliver until it finds Mrs. Yancy.

Inspector Byrnes was much annoyed
that the story had leaked out, and said
that the woman was too bright to be
caught. It will have the result, however,
of compelling her to confine her attention
to some other port or perhaps country.

Died of Apoplexy.

PLAINFIELD, N. J., Oct. 10—Joel R. Bry-
ant, general bookkeeper at the Bank of
the Republic, New York, died at his home
on West Fifth street. Theattending phy-
sicians have come to the conclusion that
he was seized with a. stroke of apoplexy
before he fell from his wagon on going
home from the train. He never regained
consciousness after being picked up from
the roadway. A widow and two grown
children survive him.

Detective O’Malley Goes Free.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 10. —The case against
Detective O’Malley has been nolle prossed.
O’Malley was indicted on the charge of
bribing the jury which acquitted the
Italians accused of assassinating Chief of
Police chnessy. When the case came up
for trial yesterday the state was unable to
offer admissible evidence and the accused

~ was set at liberty.

Vanderbilt’s Yacht Seized. , ,
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.——Deputy marshals

watchmen. Mr. Vanderbilt is expected
to make a big fight over the duty on the
yacht. .

:i wnsrcnns'rnn PBESBYTERY.

its Action on the Question of the Re-‘
vision of Faith.

Bnincnronr, Conn, Oct. 10.——The West-
chester presbytery, which includes the
Presbyterian ministers of Connecticut and
Westchester county, N. Y., closed a. two
days’ session here. Rev. George R. Cut-
ting, the newly elected moderator, pre'
sided. '

The report of the committee appointed
by the presbytery to examine into the re-‘
vision of faith as submitted by the genJ
eral assembly’s committee was accepted.
It indorsed the report of the committee 0
the general Presbyterian assembly relat~
ing to predestinatiOn. The committed
recommended that the entire section of
the same chapter be stricken out of the
confession of faith. The recommendation
was accepted.

Rev. Dr. Hodge, of Hartford, moved to
amend the general committee’s report on
infantile preordination, so that section
3 of chapter 10 shall read as follows: “In‘
fants dying in infancy, and other persons
incapable of being outwardly called by
the ministry of the word, are not thereby
shut out from the benefits of the redemp
tion, but rat-her, being included in the
electing grace of God, are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit who
worketh when and how he pleaseth.” Dr.
Hodge’s recommendation was adopted.

A committee was appointed to report on
the two overtures sent out by the general
assembly, one of which was on “Trial by
Commission,” and the other on “Adop-
tion of Standing Rules.” This committee
will report at the intermediate meeting of
the presbytery to be held in New York on
the third Tuesday in January.

THE WRECKED KEYSTONE BANK.

Secretary Foster Appoints Three Clerks
to Aid in the Investigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10. —— The govern‘
ment’s investigation of the affairs of the
Keystone National bank, which was dis-
continued when the Treasury deparl‘r
ment’s funds were exhausted, is now to
go on. At the suggestion of the commit-
tee of fifty, the reform organization of
this city, Secretary of the Treasury Foster
has ordered three clerks to come here to
aid in investigating the affairs of the Key-
stone National bank. They will be paid
out of the fund of $5,000 placed at the sec-
retary’s disposal by the committee of fifty.

Secretary Foster has written to Chair-
man Francis B. Reeves, of the Fifth Na-
tional. The Spring Garden bank, as well
as the Keystone, will certainly be looked
into. _______

A Scone Not on the Bills.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 10.——Char1es Newman,
:1 black face comedian and a grotesque
dancer, was seized with a hydrophobic fit
on the stage of the Buckingham theater.
Newman last March was bitten by a mad
dog, but the wounds were cauterized and
immediate danger averted. Since then
fits similar to that of last night have
seized him. He ran up stairs on the back
part of the stage snapping and snarling
and biting at every one who (crossed his
path. It took six men over ten minutes to
get him into a chair and bind him. Doc‘
tors applied remedies that calmed him.

The Bulkeley-Morris Case.

NEW HAVEN, Oct. 10.—Judge Thayer,
of the superior court, assigned the
quo warranto cases of Morris against
Bulkeley for a hearing on Tuesday, Oct.
20. It is understood by the "counsel
and court that he will reserve the case at
that time for the supreme court. The
pleadings have been simplified so that the
case can go up in a formal way on reserva-
tion.

Attempt to Wreck a Train.

WEST MEDWAY, Mass, Oct. 10.—An at-
tempt was made here last night to wreck
the 8 o’clock train from Boston. A rock
weighing 100 pounds was placed on the
track at a point where the train attains its
greatest speed between Boston and Woon-
socket. The pilot and connecting rods of
the engine were broken, but the train was
not derailed.

Six Acres Burned.

MAYFIELD, Ky., Oct. 10.—A fire burned
over nearly six acres of ground here. The
Newport News and Mississippi Valley
freight and passenger depots, the Western
Tobacco company’s warehouse and 600
hogsheads of tobacco and a. number of res-
idences were destroyed. Loss, $100,000.

Dry Goods Failure in Rochester.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 10.——A. S. Mann
86 00., one of the oldest and most reliable
dry goods firms in the city, made a general
assignment. The failure is a. complete
surprise. The liabilities are over $100,000
and assets are about $72,000.

A. Filly Breaks Herself in Two.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 10. — The $4,000 filly
Allie W, owned by McKeever Bros., died
at the Louisville Jockey club grounds.
She fell inarace and apost mortem re—
vealed the fact that she literally broke her-
self in two. -

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Hiram C.VValw01-th, of Plattsburg, N .Y.,
was nominated by the Democrats of the
Nineteenth district for senator.

Twenty thousand peOple assembled at
Ada, 0., to hear the joint debate between
Major McKinley and Governor Campbell
on the issues of the campaign. The tariff
and silver questions were the subjects dis-
cussed. Governor Campbell won the toss
and opened and closed the debate, and
Major McKinley spoke between. Both
sides claim to have had the best of the ar‘
gument.

There was a monster mass meeting of
Democrats in Cooper Union, New York.
Ex—President Cleveland presided and made
a telling speech. Governor Hill was the
orator of the evening. He paid a compli-
ment to the ex4presiden t, eulogized Flower,
and denounced Fassett and his methods.
Cleveland and Hill shook hands on the
platform and held a reception after the
meeting closed.

The joint debate upon “The Administra-
tion of Governor Russell,” between the
Hon. John E. Russell and the Hon. Henry
Cabot Lodge, will be held in Tremont
Temple, Boston, October 23. Mr. Russell
will open, talking for three—quarters of an
hour.; Mr. Lodge will follow in a. speech
of similar length. Mr. Russell will have
half an hour for reply and Mr. Lodge half
an hour in which to close. Admission to
the ball will. be by tickets, of which. about
3,200 will be divided equally between the
two parties.

A call has been issued for the next meet—
ing of the National Republican committee
in VVashingtm‘. on November 23 next, to
consider the resignation of Senator Quay
as chairman and determine the place of
holding the next national convention.

At a meeting of the Farmers’ State Al-
liance at Lansing, Mich, a resolution in-
dorsing the Ocala platform and favoring
independent political action was unant
mously passed. ‘ _ >

WASHINGWJHISPEBS

The Cabinet Occupied in Discussing
Reciprocity Measures.

BLAINE’S RETURN PUT OFF.

It Is Now Stated That the Secretary of
State WillxNot Appear in the Na.-
tional Capital Until After
the November Election.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.———The cabinet held
its regular semiweekly meeting Friday.
One of the most interesting questions now
before the president and his advisers is
the subject of reciprocity with the nations
of continental Europe, and this question
is under discussion at almost every cabi-
net meeting.

The most- important matter is the power
to be given the president under the new
tariff bill to relieve the duty on German
beet sugar after Jan. 1, 1892, at his dis-
cretion. The successful issue of the ef-
forts to remove the embargo on pork is
most likely to be followed by an agree-
ment for the introduction into the Ger-
man empire of American agricultural
products, especially wheat flour, potted
and canned meats free of duty in return
for the free entry of German sugar.

Count you Mumm, the German charge
d’aifaires, and the state department have
been negotiating to this effect, and most
satisfactory progress has been made. The
German minister has full power from his
government to act in the matter, and the
negotiations will be watched with the
greatest interest.

France and Belgium are also consider-
ing the same proposition, and with the lat-
ter country the entrance of the American
hog under the same conditions as in Ger-
many is the foremost question under dis-
cussion. It is hardly likely that anything
definite will be done in France until after
the arrival of the new minister from that
country, as this government has until the
first of next year before anything can be
done under the law, there is no immediate
hurry.

Blaino’s Return Postponed.

Saturday was the date originally set for
Mr. Blaine to return to Washington, but
there are no indications of his arrival; in
fact, it has been known privately that Mr.
Blaine Would not be here until the last of
the month or the lst of November. Now
it is stated, on the authority of one of his
intimate friends, that his return will be
delayed until after the November elections.

The total number of pensions granted at
the pension office during the month of
September was 27,644, on which the first
payments aggregated $4,072,476. The aver-
age first payment in each case was $147.32.

The Cruise of the Bear.

In a report to the treasury department
on the cruise of the revenue steamer Bear
in the Arctic ocean, dated Unalaska, Sept.
17, Captain M. A. Healy, commanding the
vessel, says that he' found many cases of
destitution among deserters from the
whaling fleet in the vicinity of Point
Hope. On account of the solidity of the
ice it was found impossible to reach the
Point Barrow relief station to deliver coal
and provisions from San Francisco, but
communication with the station was es-
tablished, and the superintendent sent
word that the coal and provisions on hand
were sufficient to carry them through the
Winter unless some disaster occurred.

The schooner Silver Wave, of San Fran-
cisco, was wrecked on Point Franklin in
October, 1890, and her crew were succored
at the station until spring. Captain Hea-
ly says Whalebone resembles specie in
value, and he recommends government pro«
tection to the industry of securing it. The
report that the crews of three vessels were
killed at Herschel island, Captain Healy
believes to be untrue.

Cause of the Destitution.

.Many natives were found in destitution,
caused largely, Captain Healy believes, by
the refusal of the government to allow
them to hunt with firearms, their spears
being of little use since the wild' animals
have become so shy. Several school houses
were established in places visited by the
bear.

Captain I-Iealy says that the introduction
of reindeer in the arctic country will do
much to improve the condition of the peo-
ple, the deer being available as food, cloth-
ing and traffic.

Fell Overboard and Was Drowned.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-—Arthur Bun-
ster, a prominent real estate dealer in this
city, and who is said to have been at one
